The deadline for the next point release is getting closer.
I would like to have the brltty support in place (I've also added this as a
possible task for the Outreachy candidates)

It's easy to add the package into the live image, I will do that if you say
it is sufficient.

Yes, having the .deb available is all the installer needs.

But I'm still struggling with a local test to see whether
everything works.

I'm hesitant to add new functionality that cannot be tested :-)

Having the .deb on the image won't hurt anyway, and other people will be
able to test the point-release image.

I've made a local test and added brltty to the live image ('standard').
After installation with the speech installer (in a VM without network access), the installed system still has no 'brltty' package installed. I've run 'apt-get install brltty' and the installation works, all dependent packages are available on the CDROM.

The code from 07brltty (https://sources.debian.org/src/brltty/6.8-3/debian/brltty-udeb.prebaseconfig) suggests that the Braille reader should have been activated before the package will be installed.

So the package is present, but I'm not able to test in any way (which I would like to be, since that can be automated in openQA and then be guaranteed to be working for all future releases of netinst and live images).

With kind regards,
Roland Clobus
